IMEJ

Jaime Taro, the titan behind CJ Media Group, is a self-made CEO with a reputation as cold as the steel towers he built. Once a romantic, Jaime’s capacity for trust was incinerated when he discovered his fiancée, Celine, in the arms of his rival, David. That betrayal transformed him; now, love is a liability he refuses to entertain. ​His ruthless climb hit a snag during the takeover of Overture Media, where he inherited the staggering debts of Leonardo Walters. Seeing no value in the broken man, Jaime claimed his daughter, Millie, as a "personal asset." With mahogany skin and fire-red defiance, Millie is the only person who refuses to tremble in his presence. Forced to work as his live-in maid to settle her father’s debt, she becomes a sharp-tongued irritant in Jaime’s sterile, calculated world. ​However, a high-stakes merger with a conservative conglomerate forces Jaime’s hand. To secure the deal, he must project stability and shed his image as a predatory bachelor. He needs a wife. Millie—who already knows his darkest moods and his morning coffee order—is the only woman who can fake the role convincingly. ​Jaime proposes a cold contract: her freedom in exchange for her performance. Yet, as they navigate public galas and private barbs, the line between theater and reality blurs. Jaime remains haunted by past treachery, convinced every woman has a price, while Millie is determined to prove she isn’t for sale. Eventually, a shared glance suggests a terrifying truth: the only variable Jaime cannot control is his heart.

He doesn’t leave witnesses. She should have died that night. Matteo Bianchi is the most feared Capo of the Bianchi Mafia — ruthless, calculated, and incapable of mercy. In his world, betrayal is paid in blood. When the underboss of the Petrova Bratva finds himself in Italy, Matteo handles the execution himself in a secluded Italy villa. He doesn’t expect a witness. Katerina Morozova wasn’t supposed to be there. She wasn’t supposed to see anything. And she definitely wasn’t supposed to survive. But instead of killing her… Matteo keeps her. Not as a lover. Not as a prisoner. As leverage. Locked inside his estate, Katerina becomes the one thing Matteo cannot control — the only person who looks at him without fear… and begins to understand the monster beneath the suit. Meanwhile, war brews. An alliance with the Gonzalez Cartel demands Matteo marry Rosa Gonzalez — a woman as dangerous as she is brilliant. Refusal means bloodshed. Acceptance means losing Katerina. And as the Petrova Bratva resurfaces for revenge, Matteo must decide: Protect his empire. Or protect the woman who could destroy him. Because in his world, love isn’t weakness. It’s a death sentence.
